Travel Stick II Gps Locator

Description

another nifty travel gadget. I figure this would be good allow others to view your progress along your planned travel route.

"When traveling, you don't always know where you're going or even where you've been. But with the Trackstick II GPS locator ($175) you can trace your route on Google Earth once the device is plugged into a computer. About double the size of a USB "thumb" drive, the battery-powered Trackstick II continuously records your location using GPS satellites to tell where on earth you are."

DREAM Nap Sack sleeping camping outdoor bag

Updated Dec 31, 2007

2 people recommended this item

Description

Firstly this sleeping bag is not made for the outdoors as it is 100% silk. If you did want to use it outside, you would have to would use it inside a standard outdoors sleeping bag.

I would foresee myself using this when I want to save cash by staying in a cheap hotel. And you know you can't trust the cleanliness of the bed sheets sometimes. Whip this comfy, twin bed size, sleeping bag out and spread it right on top of the bed. No more worries about hygiene. Best of all it fits in a teeny tiny bag, perfect for traveling.

I don't know how well this works. It claims to cause your body to release chemicals through your pores, to mask what attracts the mosquitoes....

But hey, I love the convenience of a patch, you wont be stinky, and how it says it will last 36 hours. (via jfang)

Fresh In-Flight Kit

Updated Oct 31, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Finally, an in flight kit from a brand I love. Perfect for those 14-16 hour flights. Contains towelettes to cleanse (lotus and pomegranate), a mask to hydrate during the flight (moisture is good!) and a serum (no more jet lag look).

Alas, at 130$ it would be quite a splurge.

Heated Gloves - Battery Heated Ski Gloves, Mittens and Motorcycle Gloves

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Going somewhere cold? Check out the Zanier Heat-GX especially. Heated Ski Gloves are a great idea! They come with 3 different settings, so you can determine how hot you would like them to be. Also they are rechargeable, and the heating unit can be removed if you decide you want them to be regular ski gloves. Waterproof and relatively light too. (Each glove has a power pack built in that weighs 4 ounces).

Audex™ Ordinance Padded Hat Motorola US

Updated Dec 19, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Who wants clunky cables and wire when hitting the snow? Check this beanie out... Wireless blue tooth is built in, so you can play music and answer your calls wirelessly. And the headphones on the sides have a large wheel on the front, making changing the volume or song easy to do with gloved hands. A built in speaker phone on the beanie is included for taking phone calls. There is even a headset included with the beanie, so when you are not in the snow you can pop the speakers out and have regular headphones.

For wired music it is compatible with almost every type of mp3 player. If you want to go wireless though, you have to check if your player and phone are compatible with or can support Bluetooth® Stereo Music profile (A2DP) and the Bluetooth® Music Control profile (AVRCP).

This hat is the combination of work by Motorola and the Burton snow gear company. And I would say it was a great combo!

Contourwear's Adventure Travel Pack

Updated Dec 19, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

This is seriously an excellent idea for any woman traveler! 7 pieces of clothing make 35 total possible outfits, and they will all fit easily into any messenger bag. Talk about a space saver with clothing! The best part is, you can completely customize the pieces you want, the colors and sizes! The pieces they have available are really great selections, able to be dressed up or down, and ready for any occasion while traveling (hiking to a night on the town, it doesn't matter).

Now the set is around $680 but if you think about it (7 pieces, for 35 outfits...) thats less then 20$ an outfit, and just think about the ton of space you will save while packing and how much lighter your bag will be. Who wants to lug a fat suitcase around? Check out their website for a list of dealers in your area (they don't sell direct from their company) or call 513-252-4679.

...now if there was only a better way to pack shoes so I can bring more : )

WD Passport Portable 120 GB USB 2.0 Hard Drives ( WDXMSC1200 )

Updated Feb 16, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

This little baby portable hard drive is amazing. 5.11inches by 3.14 inches and is available from 60gig to 250gigs. I mean, 250 gigs in something THAT tiny? It comes in 5 colors, holds up to 34,000 photos or 9 hours of video or 30,000 songs. Incredible. Plugs straight into a USB port, weights only a few ounces, and can be security encrypted too.

The cool thing is you could probably use this instead of carrying a laptop since it is so tiny and portable. Also, it would be a great way to backup all of your files and photos at home just in case. With the 250 gigabytes, you will never run out of space on that thing. Check out amazon too for other prices and gig amounts.

Updated Dec 21, 2007

Description

Swimman is a company that takes Ipod shuffles and completely water proofs them. After all, water sports are the only ones you can't listen to music with just because no one thinks to waterproof the mp3 players. Swimmman will also throw in waterproof headphones with the shuffle, or if you would like, can take our existing shuffle and waterproof it for a fee. Perfect for the pool, beach or surfing.
